China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

Have you ever stepped food into China? I have. And I can tell you from personal experience they're living in the future.
They have their own fair share of problems. But the investments they're making into infrastructure are very easily going to catapult them to the head of the class here very shortly...
I'm really tired of being told how distopian China is from people who've never even been there.

The second one.
Think back to when you were on dial-up. The concept of a streaming movie service would have been a fantasyland. No one was creating one. The infrastructure wasn't there. It was impossible.
As soon as people started getting broadband, and enough people got it, streaming services could exist.
Are you different? No, you just want to watch a movie. But now you don't have to go to Blockbuster.

Unless you're going to host your own YouTube....
This is exactly what peer tube is struggling with. This bandwidth would solve the video federation problem.
See, you get it!

To arrive at "China Good," yes you do need to jump through many hoops. Glad we're on the same page, even if you started out strangely.

640kb? Luxury.

I'm working on long range stuff so I'm not so familiar with PON specifically. Maybe I made some bad assumptions. Stable at -30 dBm receive sounds really impressive.
The one I was talking about is this, with 18.5 dB total budget, that is, min +4.5 dBm transmit, and min -14 dBm receive. This one is built with an APD.
In my kind of application, without splitter, this will get you about 30-40 km. We've got one of a slightly older type with 18 dB budget running between Fribourg and Bern for example.
I realize that PON stuff is quite different with the time slitting and I think wavelenght splitting too, at least in XGS-PON, but I was thinking the pure laser and diode physics would need to be the same.
For -25 dBm minimum the most similar of the ones we currently have would be this one which manages -26.9 dBm and is one of the ones with a SOA built in, or for the 10G stuff this one, which manages min -23 dBm but with only an APD and no SOA.
I'm thinking their 50G stuff must be closer to 100G than 10G transceiver design. So I wonder if they manage to make it without SOA.

Oh, maybe. I'm not familiar with bandwidth utilization in China.

Very cool and they should keep doing this, but no one’s CPE is going to be able to do anywhere near this speed unless they plan on giving everyone large enterprises routers for home use.

Who blocked you?
-
Feel free to elaborate. I have no idea what you're talking about other than it seems like tankie screeching to me.

Yeah, one thing at a time

We’ll be around. We may not be a democracy but we’ll be around.
China though, it’s cooked .

there could be some new thing that no one has not even bothered to think about because of the limitations. Imagine streaming back when downloading few kilobytes for an hours was considered reasonable, people would have laughed at the very thought of it.

I tried to upload some 8k 360 footage to FB before I left it
"We're sorry, but an error has occurred"Tried over several days, no good. tried again a month later, still no good.
Camera is more or less useless if you can't host the footage anyway
